This trend increases as you go from left to right on the periodic table and contributes to the attractive force of electrons.
What is electronegativity?
This theory is used to determine the geometric shape of molecules.
What is VSEPR Theory?
A tightly bound group of nonmetals that has a positive or negative charge and behaves as a unit is known as this.
What is a polyatomic ion?
A covalent bond between atoms in which the electrons are shared unequally are known as this.
What are polar covalent bonds?
Carbon Dioxide is an example of this geometric shape.
What is linear?
A compound composed of a metal and a nonmetal is known as this.
What is an ionic compound?
This element is the most electronegative element on the periodic table.
What is fluorine?
The weakest attraction/interactive force between molecules is known as this.
What are London Dispersion Forces?
This type of molecule forms when two of the same nonmetals bond together covalently.
What is a diatomic molecule?
Carbon tetrachloride is an example of this geometric shape.
What is tetrahedral?
This type of covalent bond contains a sigma bond and a pi bond.
What is a double bond?
Intermolecular force that is a result of polar molecules being attracted to each other due to their slightly positive and negative charges.
What are Dipole Interactions?
Sulfur Trioxide is an example of this geometric shape.
What is trigonal planar?
